Definitions
- This invention relates to a protective apron or bib of the type which may be used for a dental patient.
- Basic bib or aprons that are fastened around a patient's neck during dental or other procedures in order to protect the patient during treatment are already known.
- a common form of dentist' s apron comprises a body portion covering the chest area of the patient and a collar portion attached to the body portion to secure the apron to the patient.
- the collar comprises two straps that extend beyond the main body portion of the apron to allow the collar to be adjustable so as to accommodate patients with a variety of neck sizes.
- a further problem with this type of apron is that it is difficult to undo easily and quickly, which may be required in an emergency.
- a further problem with conventional aprons is that the collar portions do not have sufficient absorbency for modern dental treatments.
- Such treatments are now more complex than ever before. Such treatments can take anything from 1 hour to 9 hours, compared with the relatively short procedures that were performed in the past.
- the increase in complexity of procedures is partly due to the improvement of the standard of dental care over the years, but increasingly is because more and more patients are now undergoing complex cosmetic dental procedures.
- Recent surveys have shown that more than 92% of dentists in the UK now offer cosmetic dentistry in their practice, and that over 90% of dentists in the UK agreed or strongly agreed that they had noticed an increased demand for cosmetic dentistry in the last five years.
- Such procedures are commonly performed by private dental clinics, and as such, patients expect a much higher level of care and comfort during and after the dental procedures.
- dental treatment is increasingly based on the patients desire for cosmetic dental improvement procedures rather than the traditional visits by patients to their dentist for treatments simply to alleviate pain.
- Private clients therefore expect to be pampered and are more and more seeking a more comfortable experience whilst lying in the dental chair to make their visits more pleasant .
- the inventors have appreciated that for more lengthy cosmetic dental procedures, currently available aprons are uncomfortable when they become saturated with liquid. Often these aprons are thin and cover just the chest area. Some water is absorbed here, but due to the fact that patients are horizontal, most of the spilt water spray runs from the corner of the mouth down into the nape of the neck. When appointments were short and were not cosmetic based procedures, such basic aprons were adequate in protecting patients.
- preferred embodiments of the invention seek to provide an improved apron that reduces the wetness of a patient's neck and back during and after treatment.
- a protective apron comprising a main body portion and a collar portion for securing the apron to the wearer in which the collar portion is adjustably securable at any position within a predetermined range such that it forms a close fit around the wearer wherein the collar and body portions comprise an absorbent side and a substantially waterproof side.
- the neck size of the apron is adjustable so that the collar portion of the apron can be tightly but comfortably wrapped around the patient' s neck and secured in position using hook and loop material.
- the collar portion of the apron is secured in position using self-adhesive materials.
- This embodiment has the advantage that during the manufacture process of the apron, a separate stitching process is not needed, and self-adhesive strips can simply be applied to the collar portion of the apron to secure it in position. Both these embodiments prevent any fluid that is accidentally spilt onto the patient from running down the collar or on to the patient.
- a further advantage of using hook and loop material or self adhesive materials to attach the apron to the patient is that the patient may be quickly and easily released from the apron. Furthermore it is common practice for dentists to use a water-cooling spray during surgery or an oral spray to clean out a patient's mouth after surgery.
- the apron is to be used as a dentist' s apron, that it is preferably made out of a highly absorbent material such as towelling, or non-woven materials such as viscose and polyester fibres in a single sheet or in a laminated construction.
- a highly absorbent material such as towelling, or non-woven materials such as viscose and polyester fibres in a single sheet or in a laminated construction.
- any spilt spray or other spillage is immediately absorbed into the apron before it can flow from the apron onto the patient's clothes, if the body and collar portions of the apron do not entirely cover the patient.
- small spillages regularly occur around the patient' s mouth.
- the dentist's assistant or even the patient could use a lower portion of the apron to absorb the spillage before it naturally runs onto the patient's apron, if the apron were to be made out of a highly absorbent material.
- the use of a towelling material would furthermore be advantageous because it is a highly durable material, and so would allow the dentist to launder the apron frequently to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness.
- the apron can be manufactured from viscose and polyester fibres, other non-woven materials or other materials with similar absorbing properties either in a single sheet or in a laminated construction.
- non-woven materials are not only its capacity to absorb large quantities of liquid, but also because the use of such materials would allow a cost effective apron to be produced using a high-speed manufacture process.
- These materials are relatively inexpensive, and an apron made out of such materials would be simple to manufacture since the apron can be formed out of a single sheet of the material. Using this process, the body and collar portions can be flat packed and distributed quickly and efficiently.
- this embodiment has the advantage that the apron is disposable as clinical waste. In this way a dentist can easily maintain hygiene and cleanliness standards.
- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the apron arranged as it would be when fitted on a wearer
- Figure 2 is a perspective view of the apron prior to mounting on the wearer
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of the apron made out of a single sheet of material
- Figure 4 is a sectional view through the collar portion showing the arrangement of the absorbing material in two different embodiments
- Figure 5 is a perspective view of an embodiment in which the collar and body portions of the apron are releasably attachable to one another
- Figure 6 is a sectional view through the collar portion showing the arrangement of the absorbing material in two further embodiments .
- FIG 1 an apron 1 with a body portion 3 and attached to it a collar portion 5.
- the collar portion has a strap with one or two of its ends 7 protruding from respective sides of the main body section 3.
- Figure 2 shows the case where the strap only extends on one side from the body section.
- hook and loop fixing material 9 e.g. Velcro (RTM)
- This hook and loop material extends at least partially along one end of the strap.
- the hook and loop material could be advantageously positioned part way along for some embodiments of the present invention.
- the hook and loop material fixing means used in the previous embodiment can be replaced by self-adhesive materials.
- This embodiment has the advantage that a separate stitching process is not required to attach the self-adhesive materials.
- the apron is made out of a towelling material. This has the advantage that it is highly absorbent and so immediately absorbs any spillage.
- the towelling material also has a soft, deformable texture and so an exact fit of the collar portion of the apron is not necessary; the soft, deformable texture of the towelling material accommodates any small gap in the collar.
- the apron could be made out of a disposable material such as paper or absorbent paper. Such an apron could then be used in situations where it is desirable to discard the apron after a single use.
- the apron could be made out of a plastics material. This could be advantageous if a prolonged procedure is anticipated, so that the spilled material would run off the apron instead of being absorbed into it. In such an embodiment it would be advantageous to have an enlarged body section that extends completely over the patient, so that any spilled material does not run onto the patient, but onto the floor beneath.
- the collar 5 and body portions 3 are formed from a single piece of material.
- the construction of the neck portion in this embodiment is similar to previous embodiments, and uses hook and loop material or other adhesive or self-adhesive material to secure the collar to the neck of the patient during the procedure.
- the single piece construction of the collar and body portions in this embodiment simplifies the manufacturing process since no additional fixing means is needed to attach the collar to the body of the apron.
- the material for the apron is formed from a material or materials with an absorbent side 8 to absorb and lock away any spillages occurring during treatment and a waterproof side to prevent the absorbed moisture from leaking through the absorbing material on to the patient's clothes or skin beneath (not shown) .
- the absorbent material could be made out of non- woven materials such as viscose and polyester in a single sheet or in a laminated configuration. Alternatively, the laminate or single sheet material could be formed using hydro-entanglement or thermal bonding.
- Figure 4 shows a further embodiment showing sections through the collar portion 1 of the apron.
- the moisture absorbing material in the collar portion can either be formed by making a series of pleats 21 in the collar portion of the apron, or by using one or more pleats 23 with additional moisture absorbing material 25 in between the pleat or pleats.
- the pleats 21, 23 can be held in position by using heat sensitive self-adhesive materials applied on top of the absorbing layer, by using adhesive, stitching, or other fixing means (not shown) .
- any moisture that has rolled down the patient's neck is prevented from travelling down the back because it is absorbed by the absorbing material located on the surface of the apron material.
- Using the pleat structure has several advantages in that it simplifies construction of the apron because it requires only the use of a single sheet of material, and also allows more absorbing material to be concentrated in the neck area than would be present if just a single layer of material were used.
- the pleat structure also has the advantage that it has a natural flexibility to adapt to the shape of the patient's neck so that there are no gaps between the patient's neck and the collar. Obviously, any number of pleats can be used to form the collar portion.
- Figure 4 also shows a further embodiment in which one or more pleats 23 are formed using the collar material which acts as a holder for additional absorbing material 25. This structure can be held in position using adhesive, self-adhesive materials or stitching or any other fixing means (not shown) .
- Figure 5 shows a further embodiment in which the collar 5 and body portions 3 are detachable from one another using hook or loop material 19 or any other detachable securing means. Such an embodiment would allow the collar portions and the body portions to be separately replaced as they become saturated with liquid during procedures.
- the construction of the neck portion in this embodiment is similar to previous embodiments, and uses hook and loop material or other adhesive material to secure the collar to the neck of the patient during the procedure.
- Figure 6 shows sectional views through the collar and body portions of the apron showing how the absorbing material in the collar can be formed by either a series of longitudinal pleats 27 of the collar material or by using one or more longitudinal pleats 29 with additional absorbing material 31 placed inside the pleat or pleats 29.
- any known fixing means can be used to secure the collar portion in position for example by using adhesive, self adhesive materials attached in between the pleats or by using stitching or other fixing means.
- the apron can be manufactured out of a material that changes its colour, for example from transparent or white to blue when saturated with liquid. Such an embodiment would be a useful visual indicator that would allow the dentist or his assistant to change the apron as necessary during lengthy procedures.
- the collar portion of the apron could be used on its own without the detachable main body portion.
- Such an embodiment would be useful for simple procedures where there is a minimal amount of liquid spill down the patient's neck, or could be used in conjunction with conventional aprons to improve their effectiveness.
- both the collar and body portions are disposable .
- the present invention is described with reference to an apron for use by a dentist, but those skilled in the art will appreciate the applicability of the invention for other medical and non-medical uses. For example, it could advantageously be used by hair stylists for protection of their client during the washing, cutting, dying or bleaching stages of hair treatment.
- apron as herein described for use by a hair stylist would also preferably be made out of a highly absorbent material such as towelling material, so that after the washing stage the apron would absorb any excess water that drips off the client's hair. Moreover it is appreciated that if the apron were large enough, it could even be used as a combined apron and hair-drying towel.
- the applicability of the invention should not be limited to being an apron for use around a patient's or client's neck; there may be other procedures where the apron could be advantageously positioned around another limb or part of the body to protect the area beneath during the procedure.
